What is addiction, and how does it interact with spiritual evolution? Nithin and Jeremy explore this topic in light of its prevalence and variety in late third density society, bringing in a number of Confederation sources for insight into addiction's relationship with catalyst, desire, comfort, the sinkhole of indifference, and other concepts of interest to the seeker. They also address the psychology in light of the shallow emptiness of the modern "rat race" while also recognizing the catalytic, transformative promise inherent in the suffering that addiction represents.Show Notes Ra on polarized uses of anger (Session 46, Question 9)Hatonn on addiction to the joy of being whole (February 13, 1983)Q'uo on addiction as catalyst (January 7, 2017)Ra on polarized sexual energy transfers (Session 32, Question 2)Ra on overcoming (Session 18, Question 5)David Foster Wallace on worship (Kenyon College Graduating Class of 2005 Commencement Speech)

Responding to the proliferation of warfare on the planet recently, Nithin and Jeremy analyze a post-9/11 Q’uo session discussing bellicosity and peace. The principle addresses several biological, cultural, spiritual, and philosophical factors that make not just our people but past third density populations in our system so warlike while also suggesting an appreciation for war’s intense potential for catalysis. Those of Q’uo direct us to look within at our own attitudes and quality of seeking so that we can discover not just the ideal of peace but how to live it and thereby radiate it to the entire planet. It is this personal commitment to unconditional peace and the sacrifices it may entail that help us confront the spiritual root causes of conflict.Happy Thanksgiving! Show NotesQ’uo on conflict and peace (November 18, 2001)Ra on toolmaking and bellicosity (Session 90, Question 18)Q’uo on the shadow self and the authoritarian personality (June 17, 2023)Q’uo on personality and the subconscious use of will (November 4, 2023)Ra on the "Lovers" / Transformation of Mind archetype (Session 100, Question 6)Hatonn on their late third density experience (November 16, 1980) Ra on the catalyst of trauma (Session 34, Question 14)Jesus on entering the kingdom of heaven (Matthew 19:20)Q'uo on peace (December 21, 2003)

Dr. Stephen Tyman joins Jeremy for a conversation about the problem of evil and its relationship to the Confederation's concept of polarized seeking. Steve gives an introduction to how evil has been historically regarded, ranging from a notion of evil as a mere absence of good to the idea of evil as a positive value diametrically opposed to good. They analyze the character and recognizable traits of service-to-self other selves in psychological, spiritual, political, and philosophical aspects, including how service-to-others seekers might relate to those of the opposite polarity.Apologies for the diminished audio quality.

After a few thoughts on how seekers think about careers, Nithin and Jeremy discuss the nature and function of intuition and how it relates to other aspects of mind. They delve into a 1986 Laleema transcript that addresses intuition and intellectual analysis, comparing them to listening and speaking, respectively. Both are required, and only the balance between the two can help one to reach the true goal: the Creator. It is in incarnation that we get the mixture right because our lessons become firmly grounded in the lasting consequence of making one choice rather than another. Intellectual analysis in particular can help one discern which intuitions are genuine insight and which are expressions of imbalanced emotions; even skepticism and doubt can serve the discovery of genuine faith. This faith, coupled with will, constitute the heart of seeking, Laleema says, allowing us to discover resources beyond ourselves bringing to fruition our recovery of our true identity as the Creator.Show NotesLaleema on intuition and analysis (May 18, 1986)David Goggins (davidgoggins.com)Discussion on intuition and desire (Bring4th Forum)Ra on mind and intuition (Session 30, Question 2)Ra on implicit but unrecognized polarity before the veil (Session 93, Question 5) Ra on the Creator experiencing itself (Session 82, Question 10)Ra on the function of intuition (Session 49, Question 4)Auxhall on stories of the mind versus intuition (March 12, 2023)Q'uo on emotion and intuition (November 26, 1989)Hatonn on faith and patience (April 23, 2023)Q'uo on the extension of free will past the mover/moved polarity (May 18, 2022)Ra on all being well despite negative time/space displacement (Session 69, Question 11)Ra on balancing by accentuating imbalance (Session 104, Question 2) Q'uo on the significance of individuality (June 19, 2023)Living out will and faith in our daily lives (The Building 4th Podcast, Part 1 and Part 2)Monka on opening to greater resources(August 26, 2023)

On this very special fiftieth episode, we have assembled the High Altitude Receiving Center (HARC) Circle, the current channeling body of the Other Selves Working Group , for a conversation on the nature, purpose, and frontiers of channeling in the tradition of the Confederation of Planets in Service to the One Infinite Creator. Nithin and Jeremy welcome founding Working Group member and senior HARC Circle channel Dr. Stephen Tyman to discuss channeling and the recent Fourth Channeling Intensive they participated in.In this wide ranging discussion, the three instruments discuss the concepts of channeling and tuning consciousness from the ground up. Steve details the concerns that go into the preparation and dedication of the self to serve as an instrument in a safe, protected, and spiritually salutary manner, not denying the pitfalls and increased catalyst. They talk about some of the practices and approaches they use in their circle, including how they think about the instrument's responsibility and role in the messaging. The recently released eleven channeling sessions recorded in June at the Fourth Channeling Intensive are also addressed along with the finer points of these channeling experiences and where the project may go from here.Show NotesCurriculum Vita of Stephen Tyman (Southern Illinois University)The Other Selves Working Group Fourth Channeling Intensive (High Altitude Receiving Center)Q'uo on accelerated catalyst (August 2, 2021)Q'uo on everything being fine / all is well (May 19, 2022)Ra on the duration of densities (Session 77, Question 17)Laitos on Planet Earth as the unconscious of the social memory complex (July 31, 2021)Ra on instruments reserving energy ahead of contact (Session 44, Question 8)

Exploring individuality and our true nature, the podcast delves into balancing our spiritual center with our personality, living dual lives, and incarnating to unite both aspects. It discusses accepting and releasing elements of self, understanding our true nature as infinite, and exploring distortions of evolution. The conversation touches on spirituality, self-discovery, and the intersection of rationality and spirituality, emphasizing the importance of compassion, self-awareness, and embracing individuality within the interconnected universe.

On this episode, Jeremy discusses dreams and dreamwork with Jamie Liestman, long time seeker in the Law of One tradition who presented on the subject at the Working Group's April membership meeting. Drawing from contacts with Q'uo and Ra, they explore the purpose and use of dreams in polarization and the discipline of the personality, examining Confederation insight into the sometimes misunderstood role of emotional resonance in this time/space aspect of consciousness. Several techniques for working more compassionately and authentically with dreams are addressed, and this prompts some subtle but profound changes in how we think about the mind and consciousness.Show NotesRa on the nature of dreams (Session 86)Charlie Morley (Website)Ra on the role of veiling in dreams (Session 83, Question 3)Q'uo on working with dreams (April 12, 1989)Quo on dreams as the seeding of new thought patterns (March 27, 1988)Ra on the vocabulary of dreams (Session 95, Question 18)Jamie's talk on dreamwork (The Other Selves Working Group Youtube channel)

Exploring the sinkhole of indifference in Confederation philosophy, the podcast delves into the challenges of choosing between service-to-others and service-to-self, the feedback loop of remaining unpolarized, and the impact on spiritual growth. It discusses breaking free from comfort and stasis, awakening to conscious choices, and the transformative journey towards sudden enlightenment. Reflecting on balancing energies, embracing caring for personal growth, and the interconnectedness of human relations.

In this bonus episode, Jeremy shares a presentation he gave at the May 2023 Other Selves Working Group general membership meeting on a model for how seekers can be organized to provide community, resources, and support in a redundant, reliable, in-depth manner.Show NotesThe Council for Social MemoryLaitos on the planet as the social memory complex's latent unconscious (July 31, 2021)Presentation video (YouTube)

Nithin and Jeremy welcome Jon Firman to discuss ritual magic and its place in practicing the Law of One philosophy. Jon tells us a bit about his experience with the western magical tradition, and we explore the Confederation's ideas on the matter. Those of Ra confirm a definition of magic as the ability to effect changes in consciousness at will, and we discuss the issues at play in honing that personal will and the way it works with polarization, service, the Archetypal Mind, prayer, and other topics with which this podcast normally deals.
